Publisher's Synopsis
Phoebe Hall's life is unexpectedly derailed all at once: her long-term boyfriend abruptly ends their relationship as she is accused of plagiarizing her bestselling book. In an attempt to pick up the pieces, Phoebe jumps at the offer from her close friend to teach at a small college in Pennsylvania. But a girl goes missing, and Phoebe is jolted. Soon, the girl's body washes up from the river and hidden secrets start swimming to the surface about a mythic secret society on campus, and Phoebe is begged to investigate. Phoebe finds herself trying to outrun her past and present, only to learn that some secrets won't stay buried - and that there are some for whom starting over is a crime punishable by death.
